Description

The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) is soliciting offers under Request for Proposal (RFP) Number VA786-17-R-0528 to provide a Water System Distribution Mapping and Assessment to gain an understanding of the Baltimore National Cemetery s Water Distribution System located at 5501 Frederick Avenue in Catonsville, MD 21228 in accordance with the scope of work, contract drawings, and per applicable standards and requirements. This acquisition implements a 100% set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The NAICS Code is 541330; Size Standard is $15 Million. Offers received from concerns that are not SDVOSBs shall not be considered. SDVOSBs must be verified for ownership and control and listed in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov prior to the due date for proposals. (See Provision 852.219-10 VA Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside.) Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies necessary to perform the services entailed within the solicitation. COMPLETION TIME: Sixty (60) calendar days from the date of issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP). Units and services shall be in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW), Technical Specifications, and terms and conditions contained in the solicitation. Please see the SOW entailed within the solicitation for a complete breakdown of all required deliverables for this requirement. PRE-BID SITE VISIT: Potential offerors are urged and expected to inspect and investigate the performance site by observation. Offerors are also urged to submit Requests for Information (RFI) and responses to the Contracting Office to satisfy their understanding of the work to be completed as well as all general, local, and technical conditions that may affect the cost and feasibility of the proposal. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after award. There is only one organized site visit: Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time (EST). The meeting location of the site visit shall be located at the cemetery s Administration Building. The Cemetery Director and/or the Contracting Officer s Representative will be on site to answer any specific questions you may have pertaining to the performance of this requirement. If you are not able to be there at the scheduled time, you may do a self-guided visit at your convenience. There will be no Cemetery Personnel available at the time of your self-guided visit to show you around or answer any of your questions. You must call the COR to make sure he/she knows you are visiting the cemetery premises. Please do not ask the Cemetery Personnel any questions if you do a self-guided visit. CEMETERY DIRECTOR: Michael Brophy TEL: (707) 693-2460 Micahel.Brophy@va.gov CONTRACTING OFFICER S REPRESENTATIVE (COR): Jimmie Lee Hargrave TEL: (410) 644-9696 Jimmie.Hargrave@va.gov The Government intends to award a single, firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose offer is evaluated as the lowest-priced and technically acceptable (LPTA). The total price shall include all labor, travel expenses (if any), materials, overhead profit, insurance, and all other expenses necessary to deliver and install the required items. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalations in the cost of materials, equipment, or labor, or because of the Contractor s failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the cost or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the LPTA offeror. The following factors listed in descending order of importance will be used to evaluate offers: (1) Price, (2) Past Performance; and (3) Technical Capability. Technical Capability and Past Performance when combined are not more important than Price. However, PAST PERFORMANCE AND TECHNICAL CAPABILITY MUST BOTH BE SATISFACTORY FOR THE OFFER TO BE CONSIDERED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE. SIMPLY HAVING THE LOWEST PRICED BID DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR CONTRACT AWARD. Bonding: The Government retains the right to ask for bonding (bid, performance, payment) if it is determined to be necessary to address Government concerns. In such cases, the Government will reimburse 100% of the bonding price. Failure to receive or qualify for bonding will result in removal from further consideration for award. The Experian Credit Report will be one of the tools used to determine if bonding should be required due to the business financial stress score/summary. The number of contracts outstanding will be another consideration in determining if bonding will be needed. Failure to obtain bonding within a reasonable time will result in withdrawal of award and discussion with the next best offer. If bonding is not required, the prime contractor is required to notify all subcontractors that there is no bonding on the contract. Reference FAR 52.228-16 Performance and Payment Bonds Other than construction. Electronic solicitations will be available for download from Federal Business Opportunities http://www.FedBizOpps.gov on or around June 06, 2017. Responses to the solicitation are due by 4:00 p.m. EST on or about June 27, 2017. The question and answering period commences on Thursday June 15, 2017 and concludes on Wednesday June 21, 2017 by 5:00 p.m. EST. Email questions to anthony.hawley@va.gov. Offerors are advised that they are responsible for obtaining amendments to the solicitation which will be available at FedBizOpps.
